Tulip

I’m all faded out now
Can’t go back to the colors I knew
I’m just a story now
A preface to the end of it all
You shook me off
And I can barely see you now
That’s all it takes to end it
A third of the way through the change

I don’t need any awards
You’re becoming part of my past
The colors you left behind are darkening
It’s just so painful

If goodbye
Is something I can’t change anymore
At least make me feel cold
The night you cut me off
Was a bit too much
I always knew the storm was coming
But I was hoping for a glimmer of light
I’m such a fool
I still want to wish for it

You changed your colors
And saw me all broken
When you tried to reach out
You pulled your hand back
That’s how it looked to me

In those times when I was shut out
It was your memories that encouraged me
It’s so painful
It’s so painful

No matter how much I scream that I can’t end this
You just shake your head
The cold light is so pale
I wouldn’t mind being second best
I tried to open my mouth
But what’s already closed
Can’t come back

In the night that split in two
The scent of tulips drifting
Makes me dream and brings on tears

I can’t do anything anymore
So all I can do is grab your sleeve

If goodbye
Is something I can’t change anymore
At least make me feel cold
The night you cut me off
Was a bit too much
The two of us in red end today
Blending into the snow
I became the color you wished for
Ah, it’s so cold.
